A/N: Hey guys so I'm really freaking sorry I haven't updated in nearly two weeks. I've been having some…personal issues that are being taken in stride. So nothing to fear. :D. School is also starting in less than ten days so please respect that I won't be able to update as frequently as I have been able to this summer. I'm taking AP Euro, Honors Lit & comp, Spanish 2, Health, Geometry (I wanted algebra 2 ) and Biology (Again, I wanted marine bio or chemistry. So as you can see I'm taking on some pretty hard courses, but that shan't detour me from my life's work.

Oh and here's the deal with this chapter! Tab and liao are three weeks and a day into the dilemma. But Oni and Zim are in the past right now. Still being in the first night of the dilemma so you guys don't get confused. It's at two different times right now. Looking into the past and the future. But in reality both are in the future at the moment. I'm just writing about what happened with Zim and Oni the first night within the PAST. So with that complicated explanation…XD

I do not own Invader Zim, Valenth, Reth, Sol, Lexy and Minerva. They all go to their respective owners. However all other OC's are mine and are to stay that way. Do not copy write or you will be reported. Thank you. :3. I also do not own any songs premiered in this chapter. They also all go to their respective owners.

Review responses: Treefroggies: I'm glad you like Lexy, again if there's anything I am in need to change for you please do not hesitate to ask about it. And thank you! We'll see a lot more bonding time between all characters including Lexy and Liao. Well the BLOODY SWORD can be shrunken down to toothpick size instead of trying to jab someone with a tiny piece of wood! XD. and yes Jax is in major need of punishment. But I am a very big women's right's person and in truth kind of sexist at times ^.^'. I tend to believe Men should have NO power over women because we can do everything they can do, but also give birth and labor a child whereas they can't. And besides when people say grow a sac or whatever. It's like really? Why grow something that can make you shriek in pain whenever it gets hit. Grow a crotch; those things can take some shit. XD. But yes, no rape scenes…yet :E. And maybe never but we shall see. More Marwari breeding adventures eh! XD.

IR!: thank you! XD You always make my day upon reading your reviews LOLOL. Yes, Jax is getting more and more insane as time goes on BUT…there's a reason for said insanity that shall be addressed later in said book :3. Liao and tab's relationship is very…complicated. It's a growing bond of two broken people who only seek comfort in each other but at times it just doesn't fit correctly if you know what I'm saying so it's a very strange relationship between. Almost as if you can't exactly know if this is just a friendly gesture of if that was a move to be made or anything you know. SO COMPLICATED XD. I hope you are having a wonderful day/night. It's a beautiful day at this time for me, about to get ready to go surfing again! WHOOHOO.

Psychochicken: I'm sorry you've had troubles with your plan. It shall be fixed soon though. I'll send in Gir to work with Tabitha as he did in book One XD. I'm glad Tabitha has decided to join forces with you. She'll be eager to try out some of those weapons I'm bound to send in here in an hour or so. However I agree, hold on Teri just hold on. All YOUR misery will end here soon…depending. I am very evil in my talents ;3. I'll get back to you via text here soon and I read your story. I liked it and how you wrote it quite a bit. The plot line of the first chapter was a little…unsettling XD but it IS anime so I totally get it. Thumbs up to you brother! I liked boxer by the way, he added a nice touch to the gang.

I listened to blue on Black by Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Fall into Me by sugar land, Roads Untraveled and Lost in the Echo both by Linkin Park, No more By three days grace, Lullaby and Rockstar by Nickelback, as well as Anthem of the Angels and Give me a Sign by BB. I freaking love music. As for country stuff you may ask? Well I listened to My Kinda Party by Jason Aldean and she's country also by him, Two Black Cadillac's by Carrie Underwood and finally White Liar by Miranda Lambert.

Thank you! Last two reviews at bottom :D. ~Burdass Burdy XDDDD.

The next morning, Tab woke up surprisingly early. Lexy was gone, as usual she most likely got up in the early hours like her brother to go find eggs from the chickens and ducks whom were laying quite a few as the winter months slipped further and further into reality.

She was kind of sore today but that was understandable from all the running around yesterday. Liao instead of taking her home brought her to a water fall that froze in the winter and pointed out a small deadly fish that was frozen in the pink waters of Irk. That little fish was to one day grow into a monster that haunted the Irken seas, which is why no Irkens ever swim or use boats on the water. They'd be killed within seconds.

Tab stretched and pulled on some pants and a black and orange plaid shirt before lumbering out into the kitchen. It was still fairly early and there was snow everywhere making it even harder to want to get up and do things but at eight in the morning, it was time to get moving.

This of course didn't apply to Difetto who'd been up nearly all night 'talking' to Lexy and learning new things from her such as how to tell chickens apart and horse logic. Difetto was a considerable listener, but like any man he tuned out half of it whilst just nodding and looking around. So he was still passed out on the living room couch.

Tabitha rolled her eyes with a small, forced smile before going to sit at the table. She only stopped upon hearing music playing out on the front porch. Now curious as to what was going on, she silently padded over to the screen door to see Liao and Lexy sitting together, singing a song she knew as Blue on Black by Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Liao as usual was playing the guitar and singing along with Lexy as if they didn't even care if the whole world was listening, "Hey blue on black, tears on a river, push on a shove yeah it don't mean much. Joker on Jack, match on a fire, cold on ice is a dead man's touch. Whisper on a scream doesn't change a thing, doesn't bring you back yeah blue on black~" They sang in harmony. It was kind of funny because Liao liked to mess Lexy up all the time so she'd sock him while trying to hold a note.

"See ya know the lyrics, you jus need the tune ta go along with it," Liao purred as their singing parade ended.

"I think I could understand the lyrics better if you'd stop messing me up, jerk," She grumbled back lowering her crescent moon shaped antenna and sticking her tongue out at him.

"Dork," He retorted, smiling at her innocently, "'Sides ya need ta know the lyrics even if someone's messin' ya up."

"Hippie," She said back making him laugh and ruffle her antenna, "Liao I am not a smeet anymore!"

"Yes ya are, an' ya always will be. So now it's time fer gossip," Lexy's face fell, she loved her brother but when he wanted to gossip….well let's just say things tended to get ugly, "What's been goin' on with you an' Difetto missy?"

"Right now I'm trying to teach him basic sign language, but he's kind of confused with it unless he can see it first a bunch of times. He's a pretty good listener and he really likes learning about the farm and how things work. I was going to show him how to use the tractor last night, but you were already asleep by then and I didn't want to wake you up," She shrugged slowly, there wasn't much else to say honestly.

"I ain't talkin' bout that," Liao teased squinting his eyes at her, "I'm talkin' bout a little of this," He teased again scooting closer to her, "An' this," He then held her hand and blinked his big eyes at her a bunch of times. She screeched and shoved him away from her while glaring.

"What are you talking about!? He's nice, he's not my boyfriend!"

"MMMMMMHMMMM," He taunted while giving her 'the look.'

"Well, what's been going on between you and Tabitha? Huh! HUHHHH!?"

"Fancy stuff kiddo, fancy stuff," He broke out laughing seconds later at her horrified look before patting her head and standing up, "I'm kiddin' lil jealous, now why don't ya go wake yer lover boy up and fetch me some of those chicken eggs. We'll have breakfast for dinner again tonight."

"Again?" Lexy groaned swiping at his hand so he'd stop ruffling her antenna, "We've had that for like three nights in a row though."

"Until I can devise a way inta town, that's what we're gonna be eatin'," Lexy gave him puppy dog eyes and looked down at her hands, trying to earn extra cuteness points, "Stoooppppp, yer makin' me feel guilty."

"You should feel guilty, messing up my song like that humph," She said with a small smile, indicating that she didn't mean it, but she liked to mess with Liao's head whenever she got the chance.

Liao rolled his big yellow eyes before opening his arms for a hug that she gladly accepted, "Oh I love ya, now go, the chickens ain't gettin' any fatter ya know." She stuck her tongue out again before elbowing him in the stomach and scurrying off, knowing that if he caught her, then she'd be upside down in a tree begging for forgiveness.

Liao smiled to himself for a minute watching her trot off to the chicken pens before sighing and turning to walk back inside, shouting in surprise and nearly falling backwards upon seeing Tabitha right behind him, "Holy shit ya scared me!" He gasped pawing at his heart while giving her a 'where did you come from' look.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to," Tab said, feeling embarrassed now, "I was just coming out to hear you guys singing but you stopped pretty quickly."

"Well you can sing can't ya? Why don't you an' I sing?"

"Oh no, no I can't sing Liao that's just a fact of life," Tab laughed stepping out into the cold and forcing a smile towards him. She still wasn't feeling good about Jax and it still hurt to think about, but she was at least trying.

"Ya don't have ta be good at it, jus have fun tryin'. Come on, jus one song?" He smiled sitting down and grabbing his guitar, "I'll sing with ya."

"No, no that's ok," She said feeling her face heat up as she sat down and pushed his guitar back into his lap gently, "I actually wanted to talk to you about something else."

"Well ok, what? I'm an open book."

"I would like to leave to find my family within the next month, but I have no idea how to get out of here, let alone get through town alone. Can you help me find my way and then I'll be out of your antenna," She said slowly, watching as his face fell and he looked down at his hands for a little.

"If that's what ya really want…then sure. Do ya know if they're even alive though?"

"I'm sure of it, they're a strong group," Tabitha answered, not really noticing how much his body language changed once she brought up leaving.

"Ok, fine then. I'll get ya back ta yer family so ya don't have ta stay here an' deal with us anymore," Now tab's face fell and she gave him a defensive look.

"It's not like that; I just want to see my uncle again. Plus I am a guard without my 'employer' so technically I should be being fired right now. But since it's the end of the world I think I've been cut some slack."

"So yer jus gonna leave us then? Yer not even goin' ta stay ta help or anythin'?" Liao asked, shifting uncomfortably in his seat and playing with his low hanging antenna.

"I told you, it's not right away but yes I am going to go. My family needs me right now."

"Well…what if we need you? What if I need you," Tab gave him a look, "As my partner?"

"You have your sister and a very kick ass friend here to help. You won't need me around, plus you must be getting driven up a wall with two ladies in the house always telling you what to do. Trust me, it'll be better if I stick to my group and you stick to yours."

"Well I thought we were a group. The four of us," Liao responded, looking over at her in disappointment. He didn't want her to go, but if that's what she wanted then he wasn't going to hold her back, "That's ok though. We'll talk more bout it later…fer now, I think I jus need ta rest fer a little," He stood up without another word and headed out to his old two seated truck, shutting the door tightly and resting his head on the back rest, leaning it back so he could get more comfortable.

"That was harsh," Someone said making Tabitha jump. She turned her head to the side to see him standing there, looking cockier than ever. Her eyes snapped wide open and she stumbled to her feet, nearly falling backwards onto the ground, "He seems to enjoy your company quite a bit. But that's too bad because you are mine."

"What do you want? If you're here to kill me then it's not going to work, sorry," Tabitha spat back, backing herself into the bannister.

"Oh I want plenty Tabby but I'm not here to kill you. Oh no I'm here to do much worse," he slowly stalked forwards and pressed himself against her, getting into her face and grabbing her chin, "But you'll find out soon enough won't you?"

Tabitha screamed and shoved him out of her way, racing straight for Liao's truck and nearly plowing through the passenger side door, flinging herself in and ramming into Liao whom gasped in surprise, "Tab what's wrong?" He asked, grabbing her only to find she was shaking like a leaf, "Tabitha?"

"Yeah Tab, what's wrong baby?" He said leaning against the door and smiling at her, "I thought you loved me."

"Make it stop!" Tabitha shouted, burying her face in Liao's chest and crying out loudly, "Make him go away!"

"Tabitha! Tabitha calm down its ok! There's no one there!" Liao said worriedly. He hadn't actually seen her cry like this before but then again she usually hid when she was really upset, deciding to come out of said hiding place on her own time, "Shhh there is no one there Tabitha, he's gone, jus calm down," Liao wrapped his arms around her as she continued to shield her face in his chest and cry, not wanting to look around and see him again.

"Don't let him hurt me, please don't let him hurt me," She sobbed, starting to shake uncontrollably again, even her antenna were quivering with fear.

"No one's going ta hurt ya Tab, I promise, I won't let anyone hurt ya so please jus calm down. It's ok now I swear." Liao soothed as she moved her face into his neck and held onto him tightly. Fear was pulsing through her body in radio waves, alerting Liao and making him start to get nervous too, which isn't initially hard to do. But it was rather rare, "He can't get ya here, yer with me now its ok. He can't get ya anymore."

Zim's POV.

I froze in trepidation as I observed the walkers make little warbling noises at each other while promenading around together. Oni's hand was still covering my mouth as her pupils shrunk in revulsion. My eyes were the same but my body was slightly trembling, just gazing upon how many there were in one place at the same moment.

Albeit they weren't an ultimate threat at the moment, I know it sounds hysterical huh? Well they MAY be brainless freaks hungry for a decent snack, but they were BRAINLESS. Which in this case could potentially give Oni and I the upper hand in the situation.

"Good they haven't seen us," She said quietly while releasing my mouth from her death-defying grip. My antenna were slick against my head as I clutched the toothpick weapon thing Sol loaned me, "Zim calm down, they can smell you when you reek of fear you know."

"Oh yeah because THAT'S going to calm me down Oni!" I hissed back, she just rolled her eyes and continued to examine the herd of freaks as they trudged along, still making their little noises to each other.

"I think…they're…communicating."

"Oh yes because gurgling translates to 'hey let's go eat some flesh guys!'" I scoffed sarcastically as my pupils narrowed, the herd was coming closer.

"They're animals Zim, look at them," Oni snapped back quietly, "Their movements are forced and controlled, it's animalistic but it's not the brains doing. Hell half of them have been shot through the head at one point. It's the PAK, look," I looked again to see some of the PAKs were broken, dismantled, and flashing…some were evening letting their now destroyed and rusted spider legs hang out…of everywhere in the body. One walker even had a spider leg puncturing its chest cavity and hanging out the front side making it sway every time he moved.

"How long do you presume they've been dead?"

"Long enough, but not more than six months. That must be when the disease was perfected," She answered, pulling a very small pistol out of her boot. My face fell as I glared at her, "What, you guys had it handled at the ball I am not wasting my shots unless necessary!" I rolled my eyes and stuck my tongue out at her before glancing around the corner again. The walkers were tasting the air, like scenting it almost. And their PAK's were giving off low, pathetic hums; even the dismantled ones.

"So their infected…does that means there could be a cure?"

"Well…" Oni sighed, inspecting them carefully, "Maybe…but I'd have to catch one to find out."

"Joy," I grumbled, "What if there isn't a cure?"

"I-I don't know! I didn't make this disease!" She hissed back, clearly starting to become nervous herself, "The only thing that I can think of is our Tallest decontaminating the planet."

"WHAT!" She slapped her hand over my mouth again, making me go quiet once more, "But that means the cannon sweep, on our own planet! There are still Irkens alive! They'd be killing the survivors."

"There isn't meant to be any survivors, Jax made that very clear don't you think?" She growled back, "besides, the Tallest will do what is best for the empire."

"No, they'll take every soul still found alive, clone them to make billons of us then cannon sweep the planet without even processing the fact that some people may still be alive down here!"

"Then that is how the Irken race is to survive Zim," She looked at me evenly and frowned, "There can't always be a happy ending."

"No! There IS always a resolution to this…this problem! To any problem!"

"Keep your voice down or shut your noise tube!" I glared at her…that's my saying, "There isn't a cure for everything Zim. Hell the only cure WOULD potentially be a cannon sweep unless I can catch one silently and without the others knowing."

"Yeah right," I scoffed, "Good luck to you. If they cannon sweep us, we'll have to evacuate the planet."

"In what!? A space craft that is probably going to be destroyed or taken by the time we get the chance to get anywhere near it!?"

"I don't know! We can't just sit here and die though!" I protested angrily, "You can't just give up hope that easily!"

"Isn't that what makes you a defect! Isn't that what makes us ALL defects! Hope is a lost cause Zim so stop trying! You hoped and hoped for years that the tallest would recognize you and respect you! And did they!?"

"…No…they called me a defect too."

"Precisely! Hope is nothing but a false reminder that there could be something better. Well there isn't anything better. Sure this is the first night we actually have to deal with these monstrosities, but eventually, the planet will be taken over and we will all die."

"We can inform the other countries!" I countered, "I never gave up hope on finding Cari and look, I found her!"

"Only to ditch her again in her—scratch that—ALL our times of need!?" Now I cringed. I didn't ditch her…I merely gave Vex the chance to be with his family again…

"The point is that I found her," I snapped back, baring my teeth at her, "And I am here for her in her time of need!"

"If you die right here…right now. Would you be there for her?" Oni hissed making me go quiet, "No you wouldn't so shut up and let me think!"

"Screw this, I'm finding a different way around," I growled angrily, shoving by her and spinning on my heels to walk away.

"Are you stupid? You'll be killed!"

"Then I guess you'll have to explain to my mate how much of a dumb ass I can be," I snapped back, not even giving her a second glance. Though it wasn't long before I felt something cold around my throat, clenching it tightly and sucking the air out of my lungs, leaving me to flail, gasp and try to grab at whatever it was choking me.

Before I knew it, I was by Oni's feet and she was spitefully glaring down at me while unclenching her fist, thus letting up on my neck, "Y-You bitch!" I snapped at her, rubbing my now most likely bruised neck.

"You're an idiot. You know that?"

I wanted to snap at her, rip her antenna out, put her in her place and much much more but that was the old me. I'm not some mindless moron bent on following orders anymore. I am a healthy, capable young Irken…defect of a soldier, not a mindless rule follower. Never…Ever again.

I opened my mouth to retort towards her when there was just suddenly a loud noise and a huge bang, right beside me. I was thrown out of the alley, screaming the whole time as I landed hard on the metal ground of Irk. Only looking up to see many…many walkers hissing and squealing at the sight of me; prey. "Oh shit…oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit! Oni!" I shouted attempting to get up on my own but hissing upon feeling the stinging pain shooting up my arm and into my shoulder blade. With a gasp I collapsed down to the ground holding my now broken shoulder, "ONI!"

"Reth, look out!" I heard a young female voice shout near me.

"On it!" another voice…male, shouted back. I snapped my eye lids open and looked up, seeing a massive four foot tall walker hovering over me, hissing and lifting its PAK leg right above me.

I shouted in surprise, and tried to roll away but it was a little too late, "AHHHAHAHAHHHAAA!" I screamed in agony as a very, very sharp and VERY hot metal PAK leg punctured my already broken shoulder. My free hand grasped the searing hot PAK leg, burning my palm and making me scream again. All that I could think of was pain, pain, pain. That and that I was going to freaking die!

Another PAK leg imbedded itself into my opposite hip making blood spurt out and coat the leg, only to have it turn brown on impact because of the heat burning it like it was nothing. Another scream of agony. More reeling thoughts slipping across my eye lids.

I didn't know where I was and it was starting to become hard to process what was going on. All I could think of was to get my weapon and fucking defend myself while I still had the chance. I slapped my free hand along the ground, searching desperately for the blade. "Please!" I begged to no one in particular. My vision was blurry from all the steaming hot tears boiling down the side of my face and everything hurt.

The walker hadn't let up on me yet; in fact it had taken a liking to my pinned and now useless broken arm and was happily sinking its teeth into the flesh of my shoulder, 'Oni can't be right, I can't die here. Irk please don't let me die here!'

"Hold on!" Someone shouted, well…that wasn't Oniumare but whoever it was…they had to have been talking to me right? I heard another loud noise, making my antenna ring but the pressure had been lifted off both my hip and my shoulder, of course this didn't mean the pain had gone anywhere.

I blinked sluggishly as two pairs of young orange eyes hovered over mine. They were…not dull in fact they were scared, "Oh Irk, I didn't kill you did I!"

"Uhm…N-no?" I said in more of question then a statement.

"Oh Irk, Reth!"

"KINDA BUSY!"

"I need help! He's hurt!"

"N-no, I-I'm fine," I rasped back, trying to push her away and get up on my own.

"Stop!" She cried out, "You idiot stop it! You'll kill yourself doing that."

"Oni…where's…Oni?" I asked frantically, though the whole world seemed to be moving REALLY slow now.

"Oni?" the girl asked with a curious look before her eyes lit up and her curled up lekku shot straight up as she gazed around, "If it's that girl that was with you then she's ok! Reth has her!"

"R-Reth?"

"Yeah! My partner and best friend!" She said with a bright smile, "You're going to be ok Mr.!"

"Sword, my sword," I mumbled to myself as my strained, blurry eyes gazed around. They fell on two things. One being a giant green cat like creature with bunny ears and blue eyes and two; a pissed off walker sauntering over to us, "W-Walker!" I managed to get out while clutching her arm, "Run!"

She turned and yipped as the walker swiped at her, causing her to trip over my body and fall backwards onto her bum. Now that I looked at her, she was incredibly young. 110 at most, and she was saving my ass, my 262 year old ass from a creepy dead, gurgling thing.

I saw her lift her gun and fire again, but the walker still came at her, "P-Pak, you have t…to shoot the PAK!" I gasped out as the walkers PAK shot out a PAK leg with some kind of needle on it. It rolled me over as I shouted in anguish and tried to scramble away. The next thing I knew something was being lodged very painfully into my PAK causing me to seize up almost.

"GET AWAY!" The young girl cried out, firing another on slaughter of bullets. The pressure in my PAK stopped and something heavy—the dead walker—was now sprawled out on top of me, "A-are you still alive!?" She asked, slapping my cheeks a little bit while pulling me out from under the walker's body.

"Barley," I gasped in pain as she tugged on my broken arm and shoulder.

"Ok, ok just hold on!" She said to me while patting my antenna and standing up, rearming her gun and firing again, keeping a trained eye on all targets around her. I glanced around looking for my own damn weapon and finally spotting the stupid thing not more than twenty feet away from me.

I tried in my pathetic attempt at rolling over to it and finally grasped it in time to roll back over, exposing all my soft spots such as my stomach and neck right under a pissy looking walker. "Work sword! Turn on! Open sesame! I don't know how to fucking Activate you!" I snapped when suddenly the blade shot out, stabbing said walker through the stomach and straight up through its PAK.

"…Well…apparently that's how…" I turned my gaze back over to see that green bunny thing carrying an unconscious Oniumare on its back, while bucking out at walkers and slashing them with its tail. I mean can you even fathom!? Its TAIL!

The girl sprinted towards me, collapsing onto her knees next to me and pulling off her light blue jacket, putting it over my hip and putting pressure on it, while ripping her darker blue over shirt off and ripping it up to make a sling for my hurt arm. Thus leaving her in only a light blue tank top and black standard Invader pants, "What's your name?" she asked, hovering above my face and grasping my jaw to check for any more injuries on my head.

"Zim…" I murmured back.

"Zim? Okay Zim here's the deal. I'm Valenth and you're bleeding out. I need you to stay awake ok, just keep talking to me. We're going to get you help."

"No, I need to get supplies for my family!" I weakly argued, I was starting to feel sick all of a sudden.

"Supplies!? What supplies could you possibly need?!"

"Medical. Office, two blocks down," I rasped pointing down the line of endless buildings.

"Ok Zim I'll have Reth and Oniumare get them. You said family, how big?"

"Big enough."

"Alright, where are they located at, I need to get you back to them before you go into shock," Valenth said while actually lifting me up, even though it hurt like a bitch.

"Under a bridge…"

"Specifics Zim, I need specifics."

"Bridge over the Caxus River," I tried again, my head was starting to spin now and I felt nauseous.

"Ok Zim. You gotta wife, mate, a girlfriend?" I nodded as she shouted something to her partner and started dragging me off, "Really, what's her name."

"Cari…"

"Pretty name, is she pretty?" I nodded again, "And nice?" This time I shook my head as my eyes widened.

"More…assertive then mean though," I coughed, smiling gently as I thought more about it.

"She sounds like a handful. Any kids Zim?" I shook my head again while groaning. Everything was really hurting, "Calm down there pal. Keep your eyes open. Tell me something else…uhh any siblings?"

"Axel…" I grumbled.

"Axel? Ok, female then?" I nodded, "Any others?" This time I frowned and shook my head.

"Not anymore."

"Ok, we'll steer clear of that then. Uhh tell me more about Cari right?"

"Funny," I said simply.

"Good sense of humor? That's wonderful, how old is she?"

"261."

"And you?"

"262."

"How'd you meet?"

"Slammed into each other at a store, years ago."

"First date?"

"Not long enough," I said with a small smirk. She laughed at that while rounding a corner and continuing to drag my fat ass along with her.

"I like you Zim, you seem funny. But for now, I think it's time we get you home eh?"

I groaned back at her while letting my eye lids slip down. It felt so much better when they were closed, "Stay with me Zim, just a couple more minutes," She muttered through gritted teeth, "Just give me two more minutes ok?"

I ignored her and continued to rest my eyes until I felt myself starting to get cold and there was still something lodged in my PAK. It was starting to annoy me. But I didn't care, I wanted to sleep and dammit I wanted to sleep now. Though this Valenth girl kept yanking on my antenna whenever I closed my eyes, "Staph…" I murmured, weakly swiping at her hand.

"No you stop! I didn't risk my ass to save you just to have you die ten minutes later," I pathetically stuck my tongue out at her though it kind of turned into my tongue just flopping out to the corner of my mouth.

"I'll…die when I…damn well please." She smiled gently again while pulling me under the bridge I instructed her to pull me under.

I heard loud shouting for a moment before suddenly there were hands all over me. Two of which were grabbing my face. It was then that I decided to pass out, and so I did.

And my life now hung in the balance.

'Sorry baby,' I thought as I closed my eyes and let my head fall back against the cement under the bridge, 'you were…right.'

A/N: And with that I shall end chapter 26. Suspenseful no? Yesss yesss well anyways. SO now Jax is technically haunting Tabitha's person!? Or is she just hallucinating? Though with Liao always going to be there for her things will end up ok…right? HA, with me you'll just have to wait and find out ;S. And please, let me explain the hot PAK leg thing, it will also be explained later but I'll make this short.

The Pak's technically have a fever, everything is in melt down mode inside the pak, thus why it's humming all the time. It's cooling systems are trying so hard to cool it down that they end up over heating too. And the PAK and PAK legs are Metal. So as you can see, metal gets really hot when heated like this, so when the come out and stab things they are technically at over 120 degrees Fahrenheit which is freaking hot. So yes, Pak's have fever, fever makes meltdown, meltdown heats up Pak to extreme levels, everything in the pak is now searing hot which is also nice so they can slice through things easier. :D.

Last review responses. Fritter!: Hey…I uh think jax is hiding under the bed over there. YOU WANNA BRAND HIM WITH ME!? 8D. Or we can just mount his scrumptious bootay up on the wall with your chain saw :D. I hope you enjoyed your OC's first chapter and I hope I got them semi right, it wasn't full on into them but it was Zim's perspective of them :3. AND YES glowing moss shall prevail! XD. I agree Jax is to be punished but you shall all see in time. SO MUCH TIME. HEY SAVE SOME GOLD FISH FOR ME! XD.

Uss71832: STILL SO MANY NUMBERS! I might just nickname you Uss if that's alright, but for now I shall be respectful XD. I was going to address the reason they don't inform other but it will addressed later so you'll just have to wait :D. I'm glad you think this is getting good but I am just STARTING all of my vile plans to hit you all in the feels and make you beg for more chaptas! XD. And yes, wink wink, Liao is a very nice…scrumptious little Irken isn't he LOL. I'm gonna go drag him unconscious into a closet now. MUAHAHAHAH 83.
